Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 163

A clear eagle whistle sounded above Zhang Zhao's head, and the huge falcon began to circle and dive down.

Pei Shengyuan, who was wearing an iron armguard, stretched out his hand, and the falcon landed on his arm accurately.

A large strip of fresh mutton was served, and the falcon opened his mouth in satisfaction, let out a low cry, and then began to feast on it.

"Young Lord, this is the hunting falcon of my younger brother Pei Tongyuan, they must have come from Balasagon!" Pei Shengyuan walked over and said softly.

Zhang Zhao nodded. He had finally completed the [-]-mile-long ancient road of Tang Seng.

Pei Shengyuan's younger brother, Pei Tongyuan, went with Yin Yaozi to Balasagun Daqian Station.

For Zhang Zhao, everything about Bala Sagon is unknown to him. Although he sent someone to express his submission, who knows if there is any fraud?It's always good to be careful.

Zhang Da traverser still cherishes his life very much. Although he always looks like an invincible hero on the battlefield, in fact he is very cautious.

Because from a historical point of view, many heroes and heroes did not die in hardships and hardships. On the contrary, they capsized in the gutter due to various carelessness, which is enough for him, who came later, to take warning.

Several war horses galloped past from a distance, and it was Pei Tongyuan and Fanshun who had gone to Balasagun with Yin Yaozi, and they came back, but Fanshun got off his horse and left when he was [-] steps away from Zhang Zhao come over.

Because although he notified the Baximi Ministry scouts who were on guard in advance, Pei Tongyuan also released the falcon, but in front of Zhang Zhao, the soldiers of Regret Shandu still made defenses, and the god arm bows were already wound.

"Mr. Erlang, Yehu, the Yaogeluo, Pugu, Hujiasu and other ministries of Bala Sagon, Master Titsigu of Buddhism, His Excellency Xuanqing, the majestic and dignified virtue of Nestorianism in the Great Qin Dynasty, are welcoming you ten miles outside the city. Big drive."

"Yaogeluo? Pugu?" Zhang Zhao asked suspiciously. It is not uncommon for Uyghur scraps like Huqasu to appear in Bala Sagon, but Yaogeluo and Pugu are the orthodox Uyghur royal family!

Among the two families, the Pugu family was the royal family of the Gaochang Uighur Khanate.

The Yaogeluo family is the royal family of the Uighurs in Ganzhou.

How could theirs be in Balasagun?Saktu's grandfather, Pang Teqin, was not from these two clans.

"Mr. Erlang, in addition to these two surnames of the Uyghur royal family, I also saw the tooth flag and leopard tail of the Guiyi army envoy!" Fan Shun's face became very strange, with an expression that I was greatly shocked.

Uh!Not to mention him, Zhang Zhao himself was also confused, how could there be the tooth flag and leopard tail of the Guiyi Army here?These two things can only be bestowed by the emperor. Could it be that my ancestors still left a group of people in this distant river?

. . . .

Bala Sagon and Suiye, many people in later generations are not sure about the relationship between these two cities. Some people think they are one place, some people think they are two cities. In fact, they should be the relationship between the new city and the old city.

When Suiye was destroyed in the fire of war, Bala Sagon came into being, and the distance between the two cities was only about five kilometers.

Zhang Zhao carefully looked at this fairly majestic city of Balasagun. It was built with strips of stone as the foundation and three-component soil as the wall.

It's no wonder that Saktu led an army of [-] and a large number of warriors to fight for four months, but he couldn't beat it.

In addition to the low ability of the Karahans to attack fortifications, the fortified city of Balasagun also played a big role.

"The person who came is the Governor of Polu Prefecture of the Great Jin Kingdom, His Excellency Zhang Zhao, the Duke of Fengtian, and the poor monk Tite Xigu, who have been waiting for the Duke for a long time!"

His name is Titesigu. Those who didn’t know it thought he was a Scythian or a white man from Eastern Iran, but in fact, except for his big pancake face, this master Titesigu’s skin color and hair color were similar to Zhang Zhao’s. , typical Mobei grassland people.

Zhang Zhao quickly got off his horse and put his palms together facing the Buddhist leader of Bala Sagon. If he came out to meet the Uighur Yehu of Bala Sagon, he would still make a show, but he was not very good when facing religious people. fit.

Behind Titesigu stood a Nestorian monk wearing a vermilion burqa. He glanced at Zhang Zhao and the soldier of Regret Shandu behind Zhang Zhao, and then quickly looked away.

"The poor monk Da Qin Nestorian dignified and dignified Xuan Qing met Duke Zhang."

Great Virtue is the religious position of Nestorianism, which is roughly equal to the eminent monk and mage of Buddhism. In fact, Buddhism also has the saying of great virtue and eminent monk.

Weiyi Dade is an extremely important religious leader in Nestorianism. Among the Nestorians in Balasagun, he is the leader.

However, Zhang Zhao felt a little strange when he met him. It is fine that the leader of this Buddhist sect is a Han Chinese, but why is the Nestorian majesty who is far away in the river also a Han Chinese?

But soon, he became numb. Sure enough, in the group of Uighur leaf guards, a ivory flag sent by the rebel army made him dizzy. Could it be that there are really people from the Zhang family in Shazhou here?
Regardless of other formalities, Zhang Zhao, accompanied by two religious figures, walked directly under the dental banner.

However, Zhang Zhao was soon disappointed, but he was even more puzzled, because under the tooth flag belonging to the rebel envoy, stood a group of people who clearly looked like Uighurs with yellow and white mixed blood. The leader had curly hair, a small nose and green eyes. There are not many Han Chinese appearances.

Zhang Zhao rubbed his chin, and took advantage of the opportunity when the other party came up to greet him, and asked directly.

"I don't know which tribe this step comes from? Who is the ancestor? Why is there this dental flag dedicated to the rebel army?"

The curly-haired Uighur hurried forward and replied that their family in Balasagun was just a small role attached to the Yaogeluo family. Today, they just raised this banner to show the glory of their ancestors. It attracted the attention of the special envoy of the King of the Kingdom of Jin.

"Reporting to the Duke, this banner was bestowed on my ancestors by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!"

Hearing such a statement, Mr. Zhang Dajun's nose is almost crooked. Looking at you like this, it doesn't look like your surname is Zhang?
Besides, the Guiyi Army is not a special signboard. As for getting Bala Sagon to bluff and deceive?
Just as he was about to tell the soldiers to take down the right-sized 'chicken' on the opposite side and kill the chicken for the monkeys to frighten the surrounding Ye Hu and religious people, the curly-haired Uyghur spoke again, And also changed to Chinese.

"My ancestor was the Great General Zuojinwuwei of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Gong, the king of Huaining County, was loyal to Sizhong. My grandfather followed Kadir Khan (Pang Teqin) to move westward here.

Speaking of which, it has a certain relationship with the county government. Khotan Jin Kingdom has a Tang style, and we belong to the Li family of the Yijun envoy, who is also Tanger. "

'puff! Zhang Zhao almost spat out his old blood. He didn't expect to see the Uighur Guiyi Army envoy here, the descendant of Huaining County King Li Sizhong.

Li Sizhong's original name was Gamesi, and he was a nobleman of the Uyghur Khanate. After the collapse of the Uyghur Khanate, he was attached to the Tiande Army of the Tang Dynasty.

Later, because of the suspicion of the generals, he chose to take thousands of Uighur nobles to settle in Chang'an during the Tang Wuzong period. Wuzong named him the king of Huaining County, gave him the surname of the country, and the name Sizhong.

"It turned out to be the grandson of the prince of Huaining County, but as far as I know, don't all the descendants of the county prince follow him to settle in Chang'an?" Zhang Zhao bowed his hands politely.

Li Sizhong is not bad, he can deal with him. After he was attached, he really regarded himself as Tang'er, and he was more ruthless than the real Tang army when he fought against the Uighurs. Later, some generals suspected him, so he simply disbanded the army and went to Chang'an to retire. It can be regarded as a meritorious minister.

The curly-haired Uyghur man showed a bit of embarrassment on his face, "A certain grandfather was the eldest son of the county king. He went to Beijing in a hurry. My grandfather went to war outside the Great Wall and never returned. In the end, he didn't go to Chang'an. Kadir Khan has come to the river."

Understood, why the war outside the Great Wall has not returned, there is a high probability that Li Sizhong was afraid of going to Chang'an, in case the emperor really listened to the slander and would kill him, so he asked the eldest son to move westward with Pang Teqin, so he could save his blood, so that the whole family would not die .

Zhang Zhao had an indescribable expression on his face. The curly hair obviously wanted to cling to him, because he must have known the news that Khotan Li Shengtian treated Tang people preferentially, but he didn't know Zhang Zhao's origin after being thousands of miles away.

"So that this gentleman of the Li family can learn that a certain Zhang Erlang came from the Zhang family in Nanyang, and the sixth ancestor is the Duke of Nanyang County, who is the governor of the Yiyi Army Zhang Yuyi Chaogong!"

"Ah! This!" The curly-haired Uighur was stunned. He looked up at the flag of the Guiyi Army envoy on his head, and a burning sensation made his back slightly hot.

At the same time, a fiery gaze shot at Zhang Zhao from the side, and Xuan Qing, the majestic Nestorian, twitched his Adam's apple, as if he wanted to say something, but he held back in the end.
